"probably has to do
with erratic quality of all 3rd party inks"

 

Do you have any data to back that up?  I would suspect individual working
environments before I'd suspect quality control. The variables in work
environment are hugh; air quality including particles and humidity, heat,
paper types used, frequency in printing, skill level of operator, lack of
knowledge of chemicals and how they react to one another.

3rd party ink experiences with 1200 and other antique ink machines
(1280/1270) are irrelevant to 2200 and more modern pigment machines. 

2200 requires much finer particle size and 3rd party inks commonly
clog it...some users have good luck, some don't...probably has to do
with erratic quality of all 3rd party inks (regularly reported with
MIS and Piezo and various cheapo Vs Epson pigments).
